Abstract

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein System zur Lagerung und zum Transport von Probenmaterial auf saugfähigem Material dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß in dem System keine Testreagenzien enthalten sind und es außer dem saugfähigen Material zur Absorption flüssiger Probe ein verschließbares Behältnis mit einem feuchtigkeitsabsorbierenden Medium, beispielsweise einem Trockenmittel, umfaßt. Weiterhin kann das erfindungsgemäße System Mittel zur Stabilisierung des Probenmaterials enthalten und gegebenenfalls weitere Hilfsstoffe.

The invention relates to a system for storing and transporting sample material on absorbent material, characterized in that no test reagents are contained in the system and, in addition to the absorbent material for absorbing liquid sample, it comprises a closable container with a moisture-absorbing medium, for example a desiccant . Furthermore, the system according to the invention can contain agents for stabilizing the sample material and, if appropriate, further auxiliary substances.
